Slow going but great race. My plan was to finish around 2:30 and treat this more as a long run with a group than a race. This course was harder than I expected. Fortunately the rain held out for most of the race. Muddy for sure but not too rainy. I walked a fair amount of the steepest sections. The descents were intense too. Got slowed down seriously with a quad cramp at mile 11 but worked it out and ran to the end. Great to finally meet Alex and a few other DM folks!

Quick couple of laps to loosen up before the half tomorrow. I&#x27;m gonna take it slow tomorrow. I&#x27;ve been considering downgrading to the 10k but I think I&#x27;m good for a conservative 13 in the mud.

Palo alto runners...help? I'm expecting a nice pair of trail shoes under the tree at my in-laws in palo alto. I usually run in the neighborhood or at the cubberly track when I'm down there but I'm gonna want to try out the new shoes right. Can anyone hook me up with a good trail or two in the area?
